In order to ensure participants of First Nations and Métis heritage, data were collected in several communities with a high proportion of First Nations and Métis residents in conjunction with local health authorities. The highest numbers of First Nations and Métis participants were recruited through collaboration with the Yukon Department of Health and Social Services and the Saskatoon Health Region. In accordance with the Tri-Council requirements of conducting research in Aboriginal communities, ethics approvals were granted by the Health Canada/PHAC Research Ethics Board and by each local research ethics office or board. The First Nations and Métis subgroup of the CANRISK study population was used for this analysis. Participants who identified one or more parents of First Nations or Métis origin were retained in the analysis. In Phase 1, the data collection grouped those of First Nations, Métis and Inuit heritage into a single variable of Aboriginal heritage, which we were unable to separate. We ascribed First Nations and Métis ethnicity to all participants from Phase 1 who were recruited from the Saskatoon site and who self-identified as having Aboriginal heritage. As less than 1% of the Aboriginal population identifies as Inuit in Saskatoon

, we are confident that the number of Inuit participants that misclassified as First Nations and Métis is minimal.

There were two different data gathering procedures, depending on the data collection phase (first or second). During the first phase, data gathering began at the time of recruitment with informed consent and instructions to arrive at the data collection site on a different day in a fasting state. Once at the data collection site, CANRISK was self-administered, and anthropometric measurements and two venous blood samples were collected on-site to determine glycemic status (see details below, the oral glucose tolerance test or OGTT); both of which were performed by nurses or health professionals. During the second data collection phase, however, informed consent was collected, as well as CANRISK scores and anthropometric measurements, all during the initial visit. Participants were then instructed to arrive at the blood collection site on a different day in a fasting state in order to collect the same two venous blood samples (to determine glycemic status by OGTT). Anthropometric measurements were taken in a standardized way after all project staff had received training. Participants were weighed using a digital standing scale without shoes and dressed in indoor clothing. A standardized tape measure attached to the wall was utilized for height and the minimum circumference between the umbilicus and xiphoid provided the WC measurements.

The CANRISK tool collected information on sex, age, mother and father's ethnicity, self-reported physical activity (such as brisk walking for at least 30 minutes each day), self-reported daily fruit and vegetable consumption, history of high blood pressure, history of high blood glucose, family history of diabetes, and education.

Since the CANRISK tool was intended for participants over the age of 40, the reference group (zero points) for age was 40 to 44 years. As such, the participants in the present study under the age of 40 were also assigned zero points for age-related risk.

Several factors unrelated to pain, such as doctors’ prescription practises, might also have played a role in the development of prolonged postoperative opioid use in our cohort. For example, we found that patients with heart failure or receiving ACE inhibitors had an increased risk of continuing opioids for more than three months after major surgery. This increased risk might be explained, in part, by doctors’ concerns about precipitating decompensated heart failure as a result of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs being administered to patients with known heart failure, thereby leading to a preferential use of opioids for managing postoperative pain. In addition, we found that residence in lower income neighbourhoods was a predictor of prolonged postoperative opioid use, with evidence of a clear dose-response relation between decreasing neighbourhood income and increasing risks for opioid use (table 3). Non-pain related factors have explained this relation, such as unmeasured patient level characteristics, doctors’ prescribing practises in lower income neighbourhoods, or greater reluctance among patients on a lower income to question their doctors about the appropriateness of prolonged opioid treatment. Our findings on markers of socioeconomic status are consistent with previous research examining opioid utilisation for non-cancer pain among recipients of social assistance.

This research found that socioeconomically disadvantaged patients used more opioid drugs more often and at higher prescribed doses. The development of opioid dependence or addiction, although not captured by our data sources, may have also accounted for the development of prolonged opioid use in some patients in our cohort.

Although we tried to exclude people with pre-existing pain disorders from our study cohort, it is possible that some participants still had unmet pain management needs before surgery. Such people may have found that opioids prescribed for acute postoperative pain also helped manage chronic pre-existing pain conditions (for example, osteoarthritis) that were undertreated before surgery. These patients may in turn continue to use opioids persistently after surgery to manage these pre-existing chronic pain conditions, as opposed to pain directly related to surgery. The contribution of this underlying mechanism is supported by the increased risk of prolonged postoperative opioid use in patients with preoperative comorbidities that are known to be associated with unrelieved chronic pain conditions. For example, patients with heart failure

have been shown to have unrelieved pain conditions. In our present study, these same patients also had higher risks of developing prolonged postoperative opioid use.

Implications for future research

Our results help facilitate the appropriate design of future studies of interventions to help mitigate risks of prolonged opioid use. Specifically, such studies should focus on high risk patients, especially since the majority of patients who had not used opioids before major surgery in this study did not develop persistent opioid requirements. The risk factors identified in our present study should facilitate identification of these high risk subgroups for participation in such trials. Future research should also include prospective studies with detailed follow-up to confirm our findings and to better understand why people with these risk factors continue to use opioids. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the development of prolonged opioid use is key to developing appropriate interventions to decrease opioid use. For example, interventions that focus exclusively on restricting access to opioids for patients after surgery would not be appropriate if the predominant causal mechanism is development of persistent postsurgical pain. In such a scenario, research into interventions should possibly focus on intervening in high risk patients before or immediately after surgery to help mitigate development of persistent postsurgical pain, potentially by minimising the deleterious immediate and long term effects of noxious perioperative afferent input.

Limitations of this study

Our study should be interpreted cautiously in light of its limitations. Firstly, our data sources lacked important clinical details such as in-hospital drug use, reasons for opioid prescriptions, and some complications, such as persistent postsurgical pain. We therefore cannot determine whether prolonged postoperative opioid use in individual patients was reflective of persistent postsurgical pain, physiological opioid dependence, addiction, or even opioid diversion. Secondly, our cohort only included patients aged 66 years or older, by virtue of limitations of prescription data available in our administrative databases. Thus, the generalisability of our findings to younger populations is uncertain. Thirdly, patients taking opioids before surgery were excluded from the current study; hence we are unable to extrapolate our findings to opioid dependent patients presenting for major surgery. Fourthly, as our study was observational, it does not prove that all identified associations represented causal relations. Future research should therefore include similar large retrospective studies to assess the replicability of our findings, prospective cohort studies to capture detailed information on pathophysiological mechanisms underlying prolonged postoperative opioid use, and randomised controlled trials to evaluate promising interventions that act on these presumed underlying mechanisms to help prevent prolonged postoperative opioid use.

Within the context of the growing concern of an addiction crisis resulting from doctor prescribed drugs,

major surgery remains a common healthcare scenario where some degree of opioid use is largely unavoidable. This population based multicentre study provides reassurance to both the doctors dealing with patients preoperatively and the patients themselves about the potential risks of opioid use after major surgery. Indeed, our findings indicate that a simple global restriction of opioids for every patient undergoing major surgery would simply not be appropriate. In addition, we identified several important risk factors for prolonged postoperative opioid use.
